It is extremely important to study, and to
practice, hand-solving problems, on a regular
basis.
Consistency of your efforts, will improve your
problem-solving skills.
In the EIT FE exam review, you will undergo, a
rapid growth process.
The more regular and consistently that you
study, the better, and faster this growth
process will be.
You will see better results, if you study, in
small study-sessions which are regularly spaced,
rather than in large study sessions which are
randomly spaced.
When you study in small study-sessions which are
regularly spaced, every study session will
build, on the previous session.
Your mind will retain technical information, in
short-term memory, for a 24 to 48 hour period.
After 48 hours, if you dont build on it, the
information decays rapidly.
So, try not to have more than a 2 day spacing,
in between your study sessions.
If your study intervals are more than 2 days,
you will start to forget, and you will end up
duplicating some of your efforts from your last
study session.
So, by keeping your study intervals less than 2
days, your mind will automatically transfer the
information from short-term memory to long-term
memory.
You will be able to build up your skills much
faster, your studying will be much more
efficient, you will learn more, with less
efforts.
Ideally, studying a little bit, everyday, is the
best study schedule.
New, EIT FE exam review users, always report to
us, with amazement, how fast they grow, in their
problem-solving skills.
With every problem which you solve, your skills,
problem-solving speed, and confidence, will grow
incrementally.
Engineering material, can be very complex,and
overwhelming.
The worst way to study this complex material, is
to try to take in too much information in a
study session, and then compromise your
retention, with large intervals in between
studying.
When you take in too much information, your mind
will not be able to process, and retain the
information.
When you have large intervals beween study
sessions, you allow the information to decay
rapidly.
In the EIT FE exam review, you follow, the 3
fundamental laws of learning technical material.
1. you absorb a limited amount of information,
spending around 2 hours per study session.
2. you keep your intervals between sessions,
short, less than 2 days.
3. in the study session, you work the problems
yourself, only after you are given very
efficient, problem-solving procedures.
Your study sessions are structured this way.
You are first given a short mini-lecture, which
discusses a very efficient, problem solving
procedure.
Because the mini lecture is short, you stay
alert, and you absorb the information.
All your senses are engaged, you view the mini
lecture on the screen, you listen to
information, and at the same time, you have to
hand copy the procedure sheet.
Your vision. hearing. tactile senses, are all
engaged.
After the mini lecture, you are assigned a
simple, one star difficulty-level problem.
In this first problem, you only mimic the
problem-solving procedure, this gives you
confidence, and you start to become familiar
with the equations.
After you have hand solved the problem, you get
instant feedback, when we discuss the problem.
Because you just practiced with the information,
you will be focused, when we discuss the
problem, and in this ideal learning window, when
you are highly focused, we introduce another
packet of information.
You are then assigned more problems.
Each problem is stepped up in dificulty level,
incrementally.
After you hand solve each problem, we present
the solution, and we introduce another packet of
information.
This cycle continues, for 5 to 10 problems per
problem type, then we continue with the next
mini lecture, where we discuss the next logical
problem type.
In the classroom, you will go through a start
session, which will train you how to work and
study in the program.
